It is very true that the media completely overplays everything, and the economy is no exception. Negativity makes for good headlines I guess, while any positive stories are shoved to the last page or completely ignored entirely.
With that being said, however, my wife (who does the majority of the grocery shopping) says she has noticed a large increase in food prices. One example is the cost of a head of lettuce. It used to cost around $ .50 for a head of lettuce, now it is $1.50. Our food bill has gone up around $30 for the same exact grocery list we have been using for months now. Don't get me started on gas prices. For those of us with children, the cost of everything going up is huge. It affects everything we do, including groceries, travel, and leisure activities.
